Default Doublet Antenna question

The article is at http://www.vk1od.net/G5RV/ .


Owen, that's the best G5RV article I've ever seen. When
anyone has questions on the G5RV, I'm going to point them
to that article.

However, it does contain an error. You say:

" ... it ... does not have acceptable feed performance on
any WARC bands"

Yet your own SWR data shows a low SWR point at 25 MHz. The
G5RV actually has a lower SWR on the coax on 24.95 MHz
than it does on 21.3 MHz according to EZNEC.

Also, someone is preparing an article showing how length
selection of the "matching section" using relays can transform
the G5RV into a truly all-HF-band antenna requiring no tuner.
After that article is published, it would be nice if you
included that information in your article.
